Tuolumne, CA — Charities lucked out last night and grabbed on to some cold hard cash, $23,350 to be exact. In all 60 non-profit groups vied for a chance to take part in the 11th Annual Black Oak Casino Resort Community Grab for Cash. Ten charities were picked to enter the cube with $5,000 dollars flying around and grab as much loot as possible in 30 seconds.

Ron Patel, General Manager of Black Oak Casino Resort says, “We try to select non-profits or charities that we haven’t necessarily given to in the year and also some of the smaller organizations that do so much for our community.
